Oops fail on my part! I am not racing this weekend as my blog foretold...And obviously, I have neglected to hang out here much recently as well...double fail! 

Update: I've been working, sewing the Cheshire Cat, building a home for wayward frogs, cleaning, dealing with the parental stuff (they are much the same--whole lot of waiting, not much else...though Mom will start chemo on Monday, so we're all worried--nonetheless, we'll get through it!), and a bit of running in anticipation of my half marathon in 2.5 weeks...That's all; nothing toooooo out of the ordinary! Laughing

So Kingsley after 2 pages of our normal sort of conversations are you sure you want in? So Bussleton 2014 or 2015?

are you a triathlon Australia member? If you aren't and you really want to race Bussleton then I would strongly recommend that you join up. There are only 1650 places and they open at 6pm WA time on 23/10/13 for Tri Australia members. Depending on when you start daylight saving that might be 8or 9pm Melbourne time. IF there are any places left they will open for general entry at 8pm WA time.

My understanding is that both the Busso HIM and IM sell out in a matter of minutes, like less than 5. Maybe that is only for local entries but the HIM website doesn't say anything about interstate and overseas entries. The HIM race date for 2014 is 3 May 2014.

I was thinking of volunteering. I won't race cause our plan is to have puppies early next year which will mean limited training time from February through to April and a friend and I are planning on heading to Bali for a break at the end of April.

Kingsley is very pleased at having been adopted and he'll write more later. You think *I'M* crazy?!?!

Go Dazzers!!!
Go Dorothy!!!
Go Teej!!!
Go Goody!!!
Go KatieFrog!!!
Go Foxay!!!

Disabled list: GET OFF IT!!!

Yep, I continue to rack up (relatively minor) DL stuff ... still recovering from Japan (still have bruises and bumps and fatigue), the shin is whatever it is--actually even if it's a stress fx it doesn't change anything. Maybe it should be in a boot, but aquajogging and walking seem to bother it not at all so I'm just going to go with that and see if it keeps getting better.

Just finished abx for strep throat and now I'm back on a different kind for a tooth&gum infection Hoping to save the tooth but basically just buying time before it likely has to get yanked. But it's next to the already missing tooth, so it would be much better if I could buy enough time and save enough money to get an implant in the gap before yanking a second tooth in a row.

I think my body is still demanding sleep.  After my nearly sleeping until time to work the other morning I slept from 10 PM last night to 7:30 this morning....still have a little headache....but I have 17 miles to get done some how.  Not going to be fun no matter how I slice it.

Drive by to say I got first in my age group and took two minutes off my time. I am running out now, but later I will try to post a picture of my trophy, and you will understand why I wanted first. Two of the water crossings were above my waist, and one of those was chest deep. It was a blast.
